Shot Book

I recently turned 21.

Well, 21 times 2 plus 3!!

My friend Kylie has a friend who is turning 21 in August and asked for my help making her Shot Book.  Silly me, I thought she meant an immunization book or even a photo shot book at first.

When she told me about all the shots and activities they had planned and wanted scrapbook pages made - I was like YES that sounds like fun!!!  Then I felt a little tipsy just thinking about all that alcohol!!

I designed and cut out the paper and vinyl, but Kylie put everything on paper (including the gems and stickles) except for the vinyl on the cover.  I have Kylie's permission to put the pages we designed and made on my blog.

I used my Gypsy, Cricut and my Cameo!

The fireball is from the Silhouette store and is a baseball with flames.  We deleted the "laces" layer.

The font is Hannah Montana for all pages unless noted.

The hand came from A Child's Year.  I did a search on Pinterest for Spanking looking for an image of a hand to trace.....found a lot of interesting images but none were appropriate!!!

Scooby Snack was fun!  The bone is from  A Child's Year and the peace signs are from Disney/Pixar Cars.  Loved the bright colors - our inspiration was the Mystery Machine!

Kylie put individual gems on the letters!!

The lips are from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2.  There is a giant set of lips under the photos.  Kylie pop-dotted the smaller lips around the page.

This page was challenging.  This is the page where she will take a picture with the bouncer and her ID.  We searched for a body-builder image to represent the bouncer with no luck.  

We created a Security shirt instead - totally Kylie's idea.  We used Impact font (with the Cameo) and the shirt from the Silhouette store.  The drivers license is from Locker Talk.  

The bomb came from Indie Art (the third time I have ever used this cartridge). 

The beer mug is from the Silhouette Store.  I embossed the foam!!  The font is Blackletter.

I welded a border with a camera image from Makin' the Grade.  The cursive font is from Quarter Note.

This font is Liquidism from dafont.com and cut with my cameo.  The shot glass was purchased from the Silhouette Store.

I used vinyl to decorate the cover of the album.  The font I used is from Art Philosophy.

On each page

The F: stands for FROM

The T: stand for TIME

and the X: is for Dana's signature

Kylie created half of the album.  Dana's sister made the other 10 pages.  I am happy to hear Dana's mom will be the designated driver!!  I sure hope it is a birthday to remember!!!

My sister-in-law is turning 40 next month....I told her I would make her a Shot Book.  She politely declined, especially after I suggested 40 shots for 40 years.  Clearly I am not a drinker!!!!

Elephant Gift Bags

Today I want to share a couple of cute and easy gift bags I decorated.  We have three new babies to celebrate, one girl and two boys.

I just love making gift bags when I can!!!

I purchased the elephant from the Silhouette Store and cut it out in two sizes - one to fit the 8x10 gift bag front, and the other to be the tag.

I cut out the first set in pink cardstock.  I inked the edges and the ears.

I added a flower to her hair.

I punched a tiny hole in the tag and used pink twine to attach it to the handle.

I put some washi tape along the bottom of the bag - it looks like she is standing in a flower patch!!

I used a piece of polka dotted cardstock for the first "boy" elephant.  I inked the elephants in blue.

I gave him a green ribbon bow tie and green gem eye.

I put some green chevron washi tape "grass" along the bottom of the bag.

I used the same ribbon as the tie to attach the tag to the handle.

I used solid blue cardstock for this set of elephants and also inked the edges blue.

I did the same bow tie and eye, but used a different washi tape.

I tied the gift tag to the handle.

I can't wait to tuck the mini baby album I made inside for the new babies.  

You can see one of my baby girl mini albums HERE and one of my baby boy mini albums HERE.

Behind the sled, I used washi tape to create a border.

For my project today, I made a cowgirl boot card for my niece.

I started out with a cut from the Silhouette Store.

I cut out the card base in lavender.  I cut out the boot in patterned purple paper.  I cut out the heel and strap in purple cardstock.

I inked the edges of the boot with purple ink.

I added some purple stickles to the heel and strap and a touch of gold stickles to the snap.

I used black gems that were in a swirl pattern to add some funk to the boot!

You can see the sparkle here!  What a fun card!  My niece shows horses at the county fair and loves bling - so this is a perfect card for her!

Your next and final stop in the hop is Davinia!

Froggie Gift Bag (Cricut DIVA)

Cricut DIVA Lori here with a fun gift bag.  I used my Cricut Imagine and Nursery Tail cartridge to make this cute gift bag for my friend's baby boy!

I print and cut out the image at 5.5 inches and 2.5 inches.  I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I cut a brown mat and used some washi tape to make a side border.  I put two pieces of tape side by side.

I adhered the brown paper to a kraft gift bag.  I then adhered the frog image to the brown paper.

I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 3x6 inches and folded it in half to make a gift tag.  I trimmed the brown paper to 2.75x2.75 inches and put one piece of washi tape on the side.  I adhered the paper to the front of the card, and the frog image on the paper.  

I punched a hole at the top corner of the card (by the fold) and tied the gift card to the handle with some hemp cord.

Here is a super cute gift bag with matching gift tag!

Great Outdoors Fishing Card

This week, our challenge at Frosted Designs is The Great Outdoors.  If you love the great outdoors too, consider joining our challenge!!

I decided to make a card for my brother as he loves to fish out at his cabin.

I found two different fishing images in the Silhouette store.  I couldn't decide so I cut them both out along with two different sentiments.

At the last minute, I added some extra cuts.  I make extra cards to donate.

I used some scrap paper (from K and Company) and used some 3 Girl Jam ribbon to represent water.

I glued the sentiment on the inside.

This card is perfect for my brother.  I love the colors in the paper - I feel like I am at the lake!!
